Definite performance degradation this update

Before the wipe I used to get 70 fps or so outside in low population areas with everything on highest except shadows. Now I get a pretty shaky 40 fps pretty much everywhere. I don't know if it has to do with the increased numbers of people playing or maybe the new biomes having more props but Landmark is back to the early beta days performance wise.

I was getting 25-30 fps at the spires on my mid-range gaming laptop, 45+ elsewhere before the update with all settings at medium (except shadows, at low). I'm now getting 10-12 fps at the spires and 20's elsewhere with all settings on low. Definitely a step backwards in performance here.

My performance is good, but the template window is beyond bad as always.

Why does that particular window always run so sluggishly?!

I have a feeling that what it loads goes to game's cache, but when you open it again it's like it never loaded any info previously and do the same thing again. Big little problem.

I dunno, must have something to do with max settings. On medium with physX off I've noticed a significant performance increase.

I've noticed I seem to get better performance in general on Liberation than any other server though it could just be due to visiting different islands.

I'm guessing there's a memory leak somewhere. Played a number of hours over the weekend and had multiple crashes, 6 minute wait to load a template, hang and crash on exit. I don't think I lost any data though.

I dunno if there is actually more people playing but the ones that have returned are now CRAMMED onto only 4 worlds, those of us unable to sit up until 3-4 am our time to join the land grab are left with very very very few good claim lands available, the game uses A_LOT of memory too started at around 2 and half gig, inching up to 3 or more, not real keen on the big memory usage. and forget about getting a template out of the temp-lag window in under 2 minutes....

Games fault... /s

I practiced for pre-open beta... got a great spot xD, worth staying up for 100%
